Borosil Renewables Rooftop Solar Push May Lift Shares
Borosil Renewables makes glass used in solar panels.
It now plans to sell complete rooftop solar systems directly to customers.
The company expects this new business to earn ₹100 crore in its first year.
It is also building two furnaces to increase solar-glass production.
Production capacity is planned to rise from 1,000 tons per day to 1,600 tons per day.
Experts believe stronger solar demand could help the company grow.
Anti-dumping duties have also reduced competition from cheaper imports from China and Vietnam.
The company made a profit in FY26 after reporting a loss the previous year.
Because of these developments, some experts think the company’s share price could improve, although its stock has fallen nearly 16% this year.
Borosil Renewables is entering branded rooftop solar solutions as a direct-to-consumer business.
The rooftop venture is expected to generate ₹100 crore in its first year as a pilot.
Solar glass capacity is planned to rise from 1,000 TPD to 1,600 TPD through two new furnaces.
The company returned to profitability in FY26, reporting ₹127.40 crore in consolidated profit after tax.
Experts cited stronger pricing, anti-dumping protection, solar demand and capacity expansion as potential growth drivers.
